Russian Premier Vladimir Putin announced that troops from the 810th brigade crossed into Ukraine, speculating a potential ground assault on the Sumy region. This is significant as it marks the first instance of direct military movement since Russia's retreat in 2022. However, Ukrainian officials dispute this claim, calling it a fabrication aimed at misleading the public. Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Baerbock refuted claims from former US President Trump, affirming that Putin is solely responsible for initiating the conflict in Ukraine.
"I was told an hour ago that at night fighters of the 810th brigade crossed the border of the Russian Federation and Ukraine and entered the territory of the enemy," Putin said in televised remarks.
"Putin's information about a large-scale Russian offensive is a lie," said Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council's Center for Countering Disinformation.
"No one but Putin started or wanted this war in the heart of Europe," stated German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock dismissing claims from US president Donald Trump.
